Nutritional Info

These little oatmeal cookies (or oatmeal crisps as they are sometimes called) are a real delight.

They are fairly simple cookies made with brown sugar instead of white sugar, and with the addition of a cup of coconut.

I love oatmeal cookies. They are pretty much my favorite cookies ever. The coconut in this recipe gives you that great oatmeal cookie flavor with a nice note of coconut.

You can add chopped nuts or leave them as they are. I think you will enjoy them.

Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

1 cup butter

1 1/4 cups brown sugar

Step 3

Cool and store in a container with a tight fitting lid.

Variations:

Instead of vanilla you can use 1/4 teaspoon almond extract for a bit of almond flavor.

1/2 cup chopped walnuts may be added to the dough for added nutrition and crunch.
